Help Please - Sam & Dave / Prince Buster
You're right Tony, same thing happened with Buster and Derrick Morgan after Morgan started recording for Beverley's (ran by a Chinese guy? Can't think of his name now but it led Buster to call Morgan a 'Black Head Chinaman' ) . Their running battle during the mid-sixties is well known...Buster slagging off Morgan on his Blue Beat output and Morgan doing the same on Island. A lot of it was tongue in cheek though I'm sure. I have seen your name mentioned a few times Tony so not surprised you know all about the dealings re- Pama etc....nice one!

Help Please - Sam & Dave / Prince Buster
Piece of information for Buster collectors....'Thirty Pieces Of Silver' on the Blue Beat release is a different cut than the Stateside release. Buster re-cut for Stateside using the name 'Judas Charmers' (as opposed to just 'Judas' on Blue Beat) as a swipe at fellow producer Llyod Charmers. Also released on pama's Unity label.

Help Please - Sam & Dave / Prince Buster
Think it was actually called 'Yeah, Yeah, Yeah' (...as in Marvin singing..."and I say yeah, yeah, yeah") and came out as the flip on another UK Blue Beat 45 (Eric Morris - 'The Greatest' ...I think). 100% right about the straight Blue Beat lettering on the 'first' UK Al Capone release. They used it again on Buster's 'Shanty Town' 45. The 70's UK re-presses came in about 3 different colours, I've seen light blue, green & buff colours.

Guess The Price Compititon Hytones Ebay
I bidded £31...that's it, I won't bid any higher, surely not worth £63???? The most outstanding thing about these litle beautys (Kent 100 Club Anniversary singles in general) is the fact that none (maybe just Carla Thomas?) are in the Record Collector Price Guide!!!! The price they fetch, you think they ought to be! I sent them a great article complete with scans and they didn't bother with it.

E.k. Bunch - Banana - Jay Boy
Not much different I don't think. I've had both in quantity over the years. It's fairly in-demand because it mentions 'Skinhead'.

Mill Evans
Me no miss no point I love 'Things Won't Be The Same' too Baz.

Customs Charges
Think the charges are for anything valued at $60 or over???. I've had 2 parcels recently, one had $60 on the customs form and the bastards charged me £13. The other had $50 and was ok. So I've come to the conclusion that anything either OVER $50 or $60?? Someone on here must know......

Mill Evans
Ahh, thanks for that, so he was a member at one time. The Tou-sea 45 was cut before he joined the group. Got it now
-
Mill Evans
Mill Evans rarity on Tou-Sea 'When I'm Ready' is also on the Esquires L.P ...exactly the same cut. As Mill was lead singer, they were obviously grooming him for a solo career and released these just under his name.

What Do You Think Of This?
Love the sax at the start! Rest sounds ever so much like 'Barefootin'. Great band!

St Lawrence Label Cock-up, I'm Shocked
The labels probably start off blank pink with just the globe and address at the bottom. Everything else in BLACK is then added on. Hence the not perfect line up of the word St.Lawrence which is in black like the credits. Just a thought????

Timebox
The Noel McCalla E.P has a date of 1980 on it....is it a 1980 recording??? (Great version of 'Shake Me, Wake Me on the E.P).

Values Please
The Bobby Patterson is wanted for the other side 'I'm In Love With You'....I got £60 for a decent copy on UK Action about 6 years ago.
-
Jimmy Helms
Jimmy Helms on Date - 'Always' ...any one else notice it's got almost the same guitar riff as Don Gardner's 'My Baby Likes To boogaloo'.!! Great little tune (also done by Geno Washington but without THAT guitar riff).
